The perfect circuit

[Jos the Boss]

Is that because when you are reason there's no verstoppen you?

yeah ignore my obvious spelling mistake!

I'm sorry, but to me it looks too Tilke. I prefer the evolutionary approach: http://cliptheapex.com/threads/the-evolution-of-the-clip-the-apex-international-circuit.3496/

I've always thought the pits should be after the start finish lap, so you complete your lap and drive straight into the pits

At Spa they pit after the final lap by entering the pits from the exit.
There's a Led Zeppelin album in there somewhere.

Martin Brundle has designed his perfect circuit with corners from around the globe.

No sorry that's bollocks because they haven't got the quadruple apex turn 8 from Turkey...

 

[cider_and_toast]

I'm guessing they've only used tracks from this season. Before Germany pulled out of course.

 

[Mephistopheles]

May be but their ain't that many good corners in Abu Dhabi I know..

 

[gethinceri]

How long is it?
Looks like it'd be a 20 lap race.

 

[cider_and_toast]

I would imagine they would have had to think long and hard about some of the tracks. Russia for example.

cider_and_toast - Russia is easy - it just has to be the medal plaza skirting turn 3. Abu Dhabi has a load of mediocre rather than Russia's one half-decent and loads of mediocre.

The corners I would choose if I was making such a circuit from the current 19 races would be:

AUSTRALIA - Turns 11 and 12, including the bendy straight leading up to it.
MALAYSIA - Turns 1 and 2
CHINA - The 'S' of turns 7 and 8
BAHRAIN - Turn 4
SPAIN - Turn 3
MONACO - Piscine II
CANADA - The hairpin and the straight leading up to the WoC
AUSTRIA - Remus (Turn 2)
GREAT BRITAIN - Maggots/Becketts
HUNGARY - The final hairpin
BELGIUM - Eau Rouge and Raidillon
MONZA - Parabolica and the start/finish straight
SINGAPORE - Turns 5, 6 and 7
SUZUKA - The Degners
RUSSIA - The Medal Plaza turn
UNITED STATES - Turns 1, 2 and 3
MEXICO - The second half of Peralta
BRAZIL - The run from Juncao to the finish line
ABU DHABI - Turns 10 and 11

FORMER F1 WILDCARD - Istanbul Turn 8

There's a few slot car track design software choices out there, some free, if you wanted to give it a go yourself. I use Scalextric Track Designer, myself.
